Athena Papachristou, the woman who became known to the Panhellenic, passed away because she donated an state -of -the -art ambulance to EKAB Messolonghi, according to the website Tempo24. As she had told reporters, she donated because she was often needed at the Patras Hospital, and there was usually no ambulance available.

Smiling, sweet, strong woman gave life lessons to everyone. In December 2024, the then President of the Republic, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, at a special ceremony at the Presidential Palace, had awarded the Brigade of the Order of Euphrates in the Donor.

In her address she had stated that this special ceremony is an expression of honor and gratitude of the state to our fellow citizens, who with their benefit act as ethical standards.

“We honor the retired farmer Athena Papachristou, who donated a state -of -the -art ambulance to EKAB Messolonghi a year ago. Having experienced the difficulties of patients’ arrangement itself, realizing how important such a vehicle is to the salvation of the life of its fellow citizens, she deposited savings of a lifetime for her acquisition and offered it with a true greatness of soul. “Katerina Sakellaropoulou had said.

“Such offers from everyday people, with limited economic means but with deep empathy, courtesy and self -overrun, prove that when we see ourselves, our world becomes better.”he ended up.
